If this is what they do appearance-wise then I'd have to say I'm a little disappointed. I think the general public would have to look pretty hard to notice the difference between this and an SS. The only thing that's a real give-away is the wheels but you'll have people putting those on SS's in no time.

I guess all I'm saying is I thought they did such a great job in '07 when the C6 Z06 came out by making it look MEAN and special compared to a base Corvette. I was hoping for some similar treatment for the Z28. The wide flares for the rear wheels especially made that car look special IMHO.

It shouldn't matter if the general public can tell the difference between the SS and the Z. A true car fan will know. Hell, a lot of the people now don't know the difference between the LT and SS. It's crazy how many people ask "Is that the one with the big engine?" Don't worry if people can distinguish between the two. You know and that's all that matters.

so what do you think this will cost .im thinking about 47500 .so if i trade my ss in i will proberly get about 32000 if im lucky so i lost 8000 including tax .now i have to add another 15500.to get a z28 .how much would it cost me to add on to my car the super charger and that exhaust .and proberly a cam and tune .would it be worth getting the z28 .also my car is abm and they dont make that color anymore .

I doubt it will start that cheap...you can spend $45K on a 2SS loaded, with 21" wheels...

I wished for a different hood I hope they threw the stock one on for testing and not to give to much away I like surprises. I'm really happy with the front end and the rims man I want them for mine

We made those wheels... They are the SP550 anodized black.. No they didn't give us specifics on the car, ie 2012 or Z28.. So please don't ask, I don't know... But I do know what size wheels, 20x10 front and 20x11 rears.

So if I go tape a sticker that says 7.0L V8 to the dash of my 4th gen and post a picture of it on a track with "Copyright Brenda Priddy" watermarked on top, what will you guys say is "confirmed" then?

I'm not saying the picture is fake, or even that the test mule in the picture doesn't have a 6.2L supercharged V8 under the hood, but this is not remotely any sort of confirmation that an LSA-powered Z28 will be sold as a 2012 model.

There's no indication of the year at all (2012 is a good guess, but it could easily be 2013).

There's no indication that the pictured car is testing for the purpose of being the next Z28 (it could be a ZL1 or any number of other things).

It could be an LS9 (unlikely) or even some other yet-unknown 6.2L supercharged V8.

GM could test for a month or two and then decide that the Z28 should get some other motor instead (I'm hoping for a mass-production version of the LS7, personally).

It's exciting to see -- don't get me wrong -- but this is a LONG way off from a "confirmed" 2012 Z28.

looking good. i notice a the sema leno front bumper, quad exahust, dirty wheels, sticky tires, and cts-v 6pot front brakes.
the print out of the motor might be hinting there testing several cars with different motors like 1 with a ls7 one with a lsa and one with a ls9...
